Vibram USA begins management of Vibram Disc Golf

_ In the fourth quarter of 2011, management of Vibram Disc Golf transitioned from Quabaug to Vibram USA (also based
in Massachusetts). Steve
Dodge, who had spearheaded the efforts with Quabaug to develop and manage the
business, made a move to Vibram USA as Product Manager of Vibram Disc Golf as
part of that transition. He will continue to guide the vision of the
brand as part of Vibram USA’s management team.Vibram will leverage Steve’s knowledge of the Disc Golf
industry and merge it with their expertise in marketing, customer service and
logistics - the same expertise that brought about the success of the Vibram
FiveFingers footwear line and their many relationships with footwear brands
globally. Quabaug will continue to be a part of the Vibram Disc Golf family as
a contract manufacturer.

Product Development

_Chris Favreau heads up Vibram’s
professional design and development team. They will be responsible for developing materials
and new concepts for discs. Where the last two years saw radical improvement in the materials that make up golf discs, we should now get ready for some significant new ideas to come to the discs from this development team.

Marketing

_Georgia Shaw heads up the marketing team. This is the team that grew Vibram FiveFingers into the industry leader and the standard for minimalist footwear is now being unleashed into the disc golf market. Their ideas, execution and professionalism will prove to be beneficial to growing Vibram Disc Golf as well as growing the sport as a whole. While Vibram of course wants a bigger piece of the pie, more importantly, we want the disc golf pie to be bigger.

Customer Service

Vibram Disc Golf will now have a dedicated sales representative. Ben White is actually a disc golfer as well as the disc golf CSR. In addition to Ben, customer service will be stepped up by the addition of an 800#, a new and improved order form, and better communication as to where an order is and how soon it will ship. The other side of customer service is accounting and the Vibram USA team will pick up right where Quabaug left off. The VUSA team welcomes everyone to apply for Net 30 terms.

Fulfillment

Through the utilization of a professional fulfillment service, communication and efficiency will improve. Orders will ship out within two business days. Invoices with tracking numbers and all items shipped, will be emailed within one day of shipping.
